James, I like your idea. It's bold, risky and just the right amount of totally insane! Awesome. I think it could recreate the famous Henrico County Massacre scenes. Except... c'mon, a FREE Mac Mini with an iPod? You can't say it isn't too much of a hit to the margins. THERE IS NO MARGIN in that deal! It's the total opposite of margin! It's a 'minus' margin! If they were doing a deal where they sold both together in a bundle for $600-700 or something - that would be good. But they can't just straight-up give Macs away. If they start aiming at the people who can so easily be swayed to another OS based upon a cheap price, as soon as these 'switchers' need their next new computer, they will simply choose the cheapest option all over again. Thus Apple losing 10 billion dollars on nothing.
